How many days are required between Subject 1 and Subject 4?
2 Answers
It takes 30 days between Subject 1 and Subject 4. Starting from 2021, the intervals between Subjects 1, 2, 3, and 4 are calculated from the date of passing Subject 1. You can schedule the Subject 2 exam at least 10 days after passing Subject 1. Similarly, you can schedule the Subject 3 exam at least 30 days after passing Subject 1. Below is an introduction to the driving test subjects: Subject 1: Also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, it is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. Subject 2: Also known as the small road test, it includes five test items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turn, and curve driving. Subject 3: Also known as the road test, it assesses road driving skills as part of the motor vehicle driver's examination. Subject 4: Also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test.
Well, based on my years of experience as a driving instructor, there's no fixed number of days for the time span from Subject 1 to Subject 4. Officially, the fastest is about 30 days in total, mainly because there must be a 10-day interval after Subject 1 before taking Subject 2, another 10-day wait after Subject 2 for Subject 3, and Subject 4 can be taken immediately after Subject 3. However, in practice, it might take 1 to 3 months due to reasons like insufficient practice, tight scheduling at the driving school, or slow booking at the vehicle management office. I also recommend that beginners spend more time practicing turns and reverse parking instead of rushing to take the tests—safety comes first. Common issues for beginners include improper throttle control and distractions on the road. With solid basics, the accident rate can be cut in half.
